Colorado Child Welfare Scholars Consortium (CCWSC)
The Colorado Child Welfare Scholars Consortium (CCWSC) is part of a statewide initiative to support Master of Social Work (MSW) students pursuing careers in public child welfare in Colorado. Students awarded a Child Welfare Stipend (ranging from $12,000 to $14,000 per year) must complete their practicum or internship with Child Protective Services (CPS). In return for the stipend, they are required to work for a designated period in a child welfare position within a Colorado county or tribal human/social services department, serving Title IV-E eligible children and their families.

Council on Social Work Education: Minority Fellowship Program
CSWE’s Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) is a program designed to enhance the training of full-time, master’s-level social work students in their final year of study at a CSWE-accredited institution who are passionate about meeting the mental health and/or substance use disorder needs of racial/ethnic minority communities. Applicants must identify mental health and/or substance use disorder service delivery to racial/ethnic minority populations as their focus and be committed to seeking employment in mental health and/or substance use disorder services or prevention with the target population immediately after graduation, for at least 2 years. The purpose of this program is to reduce health disparities and improve mental health-care outcomes for racially and ethnically diverse populations by increasing the number of culturally competent master’s-level behavioral health professionals available to serve racial/ethnic minority populations.
